Bug Description
Please support SFTP uploads. This eases penetration through complex firewalls, allows for secure upload (e.g. to P3As), gives synchronous feedback to uploaders, simplifies authentication proxying, etc.
GPG keys should continue to be used for verification of package uploaders: SFTP would only be an additional transport mechanism.
The current (FTP) transport mechanism should continue to be supported in parallel until April 2015, to avoid the need to change the upload path for those using lucid as a development platform without changes to dput configuration (changing to reference sftp would need some significant argument to be considered a critical security update).
